Episode Summary

The Decepticons are up to something and a series of thefts by the Stunticons are related. The Stunticons themselves end up biting off more than they can chew against some Autobots and get locked up. The Autobots are still in the dark about Megatron's latest plan, though, but there is a remedy from, unsurprisingly, Wheeljack. Advanced paint makes Optimus, Jazz, Mirage, Sideswipe and Windcharger look exactly like each of the Stunticons. The plan is infiltrate, learn about and foil Megatron's plan. It won't be easy to pass for the Stunticons while surrounded by Decepticons, though, especially when the real ones escape Autobot captivity.moreless

According to 'The Key to Vector Sigma' Part 1, the Stunticons were equipped with force fields. Why didn't Breakdown use his when Inferno and Grapple attacked him, or Wildrider when he was attacked by Hoist?

How mortifrying!Dead End: The word, Breakdown, is mortiFYing, and I agree with you.Motormaster: I'm in no mood to hear your corrections, Dead End.Ironhide: For you, Motormouth, this IS a dead end.

When Optimus Prime and Motormaster go one againts the other in their vehicule mode, it´s called play "chicken", an old trick where who gets out of the oponent way is the chicken (used too in Mad Max). The consequences of this stile of game when nobody gets out the way is a very bad crash.
